had an awesome trip on the 24th! sunny and warm, the fish were biting. I landed a couple of nice bluefish using my favorite lure. the wind picked up but it made for some fun casting. can’t wait to go again soon!

finally some sun on the 23rd! went with the gang, it was partly cloudy but nice enough to stay out. we caught a few nice spotfish and kept one for a late lunch. got a sunburn though, forgot the sunscreen! gotta be extra careful next time.

back out on the 19th, overcast again but not too windy. I tried to catch some tautog near the rocks with no luck, just had a few bites. met some cool folks out there though, always good to chat with other fishers.
